How to format your references using the Journal of Mathematical Modelling and Algorithms in Operations Research citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Journal of Mathematical Modelling and Algorithms in Operations Research. For a complete guide how to prepare your manuscript refer to the journal's instructions to authors.

Using reference management software

Typically you don't format your citations and bibliography by hand. The easiest way is to use a reference manager:

Paperpile	The citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
EndNote	Find the style here: output styles overview
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and others	The style is either built in or you can download a CSL file that is supported by most references management programs.
BibTeX	BibTeX syles are usually part of a LaTeX template. Check the instructions to authors if the publisher offers a LaTeX template for this journal.

Journal articles

Those examples are references to articles in scholarly journals and how they are supposed to appear in your bibliography.

Not all journals organize their published articles in volumes and issues, so these fields are optional. Some electronic journals do not provide a page range, but instead list an article identifier. In a case like this it's safe to use the article identifier instead of the page range.

A journal article with 1 author

Garsin, D.A.: Microbiology. Peptide signals sense and destroy target cells. Science. 306, 2202–2203 (2004)

A journal article with 2 authors

Bakkenist, C.J., Kastan, M.B.: DNA damage activates ATM through intermolecular autophosphorylation and dimer dissociation. Nature. 421, 499–506 (2003)

A journal article with 3 authors

Rastogi, D., Suzuki, M., Greally, J.M.: Differential epigenome-wide DNA methylation patterns in childhood obesity-associated asthma. Sci. Rep. 3, 2164 (2013)

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Lister, A.M., Edwards, C.J., Nock, D.A.W., Bunce, M., van Pijlen, I.A., Bradley, D.G., Thomas, M.G., Barnes, I.: The phylogenetic position of the “giant deer” Megaloceros giganteus. Nature. 438, 850–853 (2005)

Books and book chapters

Here are examples of references for authored and edited books as well as book chapters.

Reports

This example shows the general structure used for government reports, technical reports, and scientific reports. If you can't locate the report number then it might be better to cite the report as a book. For reports it is usually not individual people that are credited as authors, but a governmental department or agency like "U. S. Food and Drug Administration" or "National Cancer Institute".

Government report

Government Accountability Office: Federal Research: Determination of the Best Qualified Sites for DOE’s Super Collider. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC (1989)

Theses and dissertations

Theses including Ph.D. dissertations, Master's theses or Bachelor theses follow the basic format outlined below.

Doctoral dissertation

Day, C.: Medication-assisted treatment: Education for those who assist in the treatment of substance use disorders curriculum development, (2012)

News paper articles

Unlike scholarly journals, news papers do not usually have a volume and issue number. Instead, the full date and page number is required for a correct reference.

New York Times article

Greenhouse, L.: Supreme Court Allows Disabled Georgia Inmate to Proceed With Suit Against State, (2006)

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in square brackets:

This sentence cites one reference [1].
This sentence cites two references [1, 2].
This sentence cites four references [1–4].
